I've been reading Spolsky's writing since he began, and it's strange I still think of his company as having 10 or so employees. Honest question: what do the 30+ people on the production side of Stack Exchange do? This frankly seems like a huge team to me. On the other hand, maybe that's what's required for sane scheduling and clean code. My experience is with 1-5 devs doing any mad hack or taking known-shortsighted actions to meet the current deadline.

If this article from HighScalability is any indication, it looks like the 30+ on the product side of Stack Exchange are running a very tight ship: http://highscalability.com/blog/2014/7/21/stackoverflow-update-560m-pageviews-a-month-25-servers-and-i.html http://highscalability.com/blog/2014/7/21/stackoverflow-upda...
